• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WEBI_CHECKS103 - Consistency of Service Definitions (Soap Appl. Properties for Features) ?

  The SAP error message WEBI_CHECKS103 with the description "Consistency of Service Definitions (Soap Appl. Properties for Features)" typically occurs in the context of SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence (WebI) or related BI platform services when there is an inconsistency or misconfiguration in the SOAP application properties related to service features.
  
  Cause
  
  Inconsistent or corrupted service definitions: The error usually indicates that the SOAP service definitions or application properties for certain features are inconsistent or corrupted.
  Mismatch between service configuration and deployed services: This can happen if the SOAP services were manually modified, or if there was an incomplete or failed upgrade/patch that left the service definitions in an inconsistent state.
  Incorrect or missing feature flags: Some features in the WebI or BI platform SOAP services require specific properties or flags to be set. If these are missing or incorrectly set, the consistency check fails.
  Version incompatibility: Using mismatched versions of client tools and server components can cause this error due to differences in expected service definitions.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check and synchronize service definitions:
  
  Verify the SOAP service definitions in the Central Management Console (CMC) or the relevant configuration files.
  Ensure that the service definitions match the expected configuration for your version of SAP BI platform.
  
  
  
  Restart services:
  
  Sometimes, restarting the BI platform services (especially the Web Intelligence Processing Server and the CMS) can resolve temporary inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Apply patches or upgrade:
  
  If the error appeared after an upgrade or patch, ensure that the upgrade was completed successfully.
  Apply the latest patches or support packs for your SAP BI platform version to fix known bugs.
  
  
  
  Re-import or repair service definitions:
  
  In some cases, re-importing the service definitions or repairing the installation can restore consistency.
  This might involve re-deploying the WebI services or reconfiguring the SOAP application properties.
  
  
  
  Check logs for detailed errors:
  
  Review the BI platform logs (e.g., webi.log, cms.log) for more detailed error messages that can pinpoint the exact inconsistency.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
